Hi all,

Decided to write up my own thread for all my Manila customizing that I have done myself. All files are cab's for easy install and uninstall.

Updates:
[04/11/08] Added Wraith icon set.
[24/10/08] Added Transformer icon set.
[21/10/08] More customization to come soon! I have only released a few small things so far. Links coming soon. I am just waiting for my FTP!


Icon Themes:

Blossom Blue - Missing a calendar icon. You can Manila it below if you want. I have created it for you. I just do not use Calendar. Includes round gloss slider, custom email/sms orb and glossy black icon background.

See below for screenshots:

Hey dickenz, just wanted to say thanks for the awesome icons (especially in .cab form) and getting rid of the hideous green touch focus.

One question that i had for you, in all 3 sets of icons you can see that the bottom curtain for the first half is mildly transparent, and for the second half it is solid. I noticed one time when i first installed one of your icon sets the bottom curtain was that semi-transparent gloss black when TF3D first started up, and only after about 5 seconds did it turn solid. Do you know of any way or .cab file that will make the curtain permanently that transparent gloss black because it looked amazing.

Hey Jordan88,

Not a problem, glad you like the icons.

The issue there is actually with the home tab. I haven't worked it out yet but only on the home tab the icon background is transparent. If you go to another tab it becomes solid!!! I am not sure why, I think it is a 'feature' although I use the word loosely. It happens with every theme I have used and on any background so I am at a bit of a loss. It's almost like on the other tabs there is a grey colour BEHIND the icon background.

My screenshots look odd because the first half is taken on the home tab then the rest are taken from the programs tab. Hence half transparent, half not.

Hope that explains it!

EDIT: Further examination proves it must be a feature.

If you go from home tab to your 2nd tab [in my case it is contacts] you will see the background stay transparent for a sec, then it turns solid! It then stays solid on all other tabs. Odd.

Hmm, that's a strange "feature" haha, but that is good that you are aware of it. Either way, you still have some of the best looking icons.

Great icons! Love the blue icons. One small flaw is that i have the sprint version, and the sprint logo still remains the same, but everything else is nice!

Thanks mate... I think there is a .cab somewhere to remove the Sprint logos. Don't quote me on that though, have a search!

That's my sentiments exactly. A very weird "feature".

Thanks muchly! Trying to do something a little different with the icons :)
